It costs $25,000 per day to operate, and it can produce 300 barrels of high-grade oil, 400 barrels of medium- grade oil, and 500 barrels of low-grade oil each day. The company has orders totaling 25,000 barrels of high-grade oil, 27,000 barrels of medium-grade oil, and 30,000 barrels of low-grade oil. Set up linear minimization problem using Simplex method. Determine the days to run each refinery to minimize the cost in order to meet its order.

An airline company has been contracting a maintenance company to do overhauls for its planes at a cost of $51275 per plane per quarter. The airline company estimates that by building a $1461838 maintenance facility with a life of 5 years and a residual market value of $770217 at the end of its life, they could handle their own overhaul at a cost of only $42020 per plane per quarter. What is the minimum number of planes they must operate to make it just profitable to build this facility? (=2% per quarter). • 25 O 31 Clear my choice
There is an upstream Picking department that feeds two downstream Packing departments: Pack Singles and Pack Multis. Those Packing departments feed to a Shipping department that loads the outgoing trucks. 40% of your Pick volume goes to Pack Singles and has a packing rate of 104 units per labor hour (uph). 60% of the Pick volume goes to Pack Multis and has a pack rate of 215 units per labor hour. Your pickers pick both Single and Multi items throughout the day at an overall average rate of 114 units per labor hour. All units that are packed in both processes go through the Ship process at a rate of 570 units per hour. You have 102 people today for all 4 departments and you absolutely must pack 47,880 units in Pack Multis Items to meet a customer promise metric. How do you allocate labor to balance the flow in your department if you work a 10 hour shift? Do not assume breaks or lunches in your answer. Redirect 1: You now need to process all of the Pack Singles Volume in the first 5…
a) Suppose you walk into a large supermarket at 2 am with a friend. Your friend says, "I can't believe that these stores stay open all night. Only one out of fifteen checkout lines is open. There can't be more than ten shoppers in this store. It just doesn't make any sense for this store to be open all night." What conditions must be true for it to be to the advantage of the supermarket to stay open all night? b) Your friend has a large garden and grows fresh fruit and vegetables to be sold at a local "farmer's market." Last year your friend was the only worker in the garden, without any additional workers. However, this year your friend hired a worker and production more than doubled. He comments "Next summer, I think I'll hire another two workers (so total workers including myself would go up from 2 to 4) and my output should again more than double". Is it likely that he could hire more workers and always continue to reap greater than proportional increases in production? Why?
The City of High Point is buying new school buses for the local school system. High Point has found two models of school buses that it is interested in. Eagle Mover costs $80,000 to buy and uses diesel fuel, with an average fuel efficiency of 10 miles per gallon. Eagle Mover has an operating cost of $.28 per mile. Yellow Transport, a hybrid bus, costs $105,000 to buy and uses diesel fuel and battery power, getting an average of 22 miles per gallon. Yellow Transport has an operating cost of $.32 per mile. The distance traveled annually is determined to be 25,000 miles, with the expected life of either bus to be 10 years. The average diesel price is $3.50 per gallon.
The Decision Sciences Department is trying todetermine whether to rent a slow or a fast copier. Thedepartment believes that an employee’s time is worth $15per hour. The slow copier rents for $4 per hour and it takesan employee an average of 10 minutes to complete copying(exponentially distributed). The fast copier rents for $15 perhour and it takes an employee an average of 6 minutes tocomplete copying. An average of 4 employees per hour needto use the copying machine (interarrival times areexponential). Which machine should the department rent?
1) An operator is used for loading and unloading of parts to automated machines. Loading time is 1 minute; unloading time is 2 minutes, machining time is 30 minutes, Operator travel time between the machines including the inspection time is 4 minutes. Cost of operator is C₁=40 TL/Hour, cost of a machine is C₂-200 TL/Hour. What is the cost per unit of production if optimum number of machines is assigned to the operator? (Note: Times are given in minutes and costs are per hour) a) 231 TL/unit b) 6930 TL/unit c) 115.5 TL/unit d) 240 TL/unit e) 132 TL/unit 2) An operator is used for loading and unloading of parts to automated machines.

A bank is trying to determine which of two machinesshould be rented to process checks. Machine 1 rents for$10,000 per year and processes 1,000 checks per hour.Machine 2 rents for $15,000 per year and processes 1,600checks per hour. Assume that the machines work 8 hours aday, 5 days a week, 50 weeks a year. The bank must processan average of 800 checks per hour, and the average checkprocessed is for $100. Assume an annual interest rate of20%. Then determine the cost to the bank (in lost interest)for each hour that a check spends waiting for and undergoingprocessing. Assuming that interarrival times and servicetimes are exponential, which machine should the bank rent?
A worker at the State Unemployment Office isresponsible for processing a company’s forms when it opensfor business. The worker can process an average of 4 formsper week. In 2002, an average of 1.8 companies per weeksubmitted forms for processing, and the worker had abacklog of .45 week. In 2003, an average of 3.9 companiesper week submitted forms for processing, and the workerhad a 5-week backlog. The poor worker was fired and suedto get his job back. The court said that since the amount ofwork submitted to the worker had approximately doubled,the worker’s backlog should have also doubled. Since his backlog increased by more than a factor of 10, he must havebeen slacking off, so the state was justified in firing him.Use queuing theory to defend the worker (based on an actualcase!).
A machine used for cutting materials in a factory has the following outputs per hour at various speeds and required periodic tool regrinding at intervals cited. Speed Hour Output per Tool RegrindingA 200 pieces every 8 hours B 280 pieces every 5 hours A set of tools costs 560 and can be ground twenty times. Each regrinding costs 54.00 and the time needed to regrind and change tools is 1 hour. The machine operator is paid 35.00 per hour including the time the tool is changed. The tool grinder who also sets the tools to the machine is paid 40.00 per hour. The hourly rate chargeable against the machine is 38.00, regardless of machine speed. Which speed is more ecomical? A. Speed B, 0.096/pc B Speed B, 0.087/pc C. Speed A, .054/pc D. Speed A >037/pc

A Company that makes shopping carts for supermarkets and other stores recently purchased some new equipment that reduces the labor content of the jobs needed to produce the shopping carts. Prior to buying the new equipment, the company used 4 workers, who produced an average of 87 carts per hour. Workers receive $13 per hour, and machine coast was $32 per hour. With the new equipment, it was possible to transfer one of the workers to another department, and equipment cost increased by $18 per hour while output increased by four carts per hour.a) Compute the multifactor productivity (MFP) (labor plus equipment) under the Prior to buying the new equipment. The MFP (carts/$) = ( ) (round to 4 decimal places).b) Compute the % growth in productivity between the Prior to and after buying the new equipment. The growth in productivity = ( ) % (round to 2 decimal places)
